Prologue: The Fallen Legend

L.A. County Prison,
Prisoner's Cell
Prison… A home for the corrupt, and for those who would defy the law. Some were innocent people who lives were turned upside down by a quirk of fat. Others were monsters, people who manipulated others and the law for themselves and their purposes.
But one in particular stood out.
This criminal was of a different class then the others who lived in this prison. This particular criminal was once a prosecutor, and was considered to be the God of Perfection, because of his brutal tactics in court. This man would use any trick to win, from altering testimonies to forging evidence, and because of this he never lost a case for 40 years. This man was a force of power so strong that he lived in his own cell because many of the prisoners were terrified of him, being that most of them were in prison because of him.
His name was Manfred Von Karma, and he was once the most feared and revered prosecutor in the country.
Until two years, when he was defeated in court by a rookie defense attorney and exposed as a killer. He was stripped of his badge and sentenced to prison with a death sentence. Now, two years later, the time had finally come.
Tomorrow would be the day of Von Karma's execution.
But he was not afraid, for he was Manfred Von Karma, and to be a Von Karma meant to be completely perfect. He was not afraid, and instead waited patiently for the end that he knew tomorrow would bring.
"So this is how it ends," Manfred thought to himself, "With me, dying in a prison. Yet I am not afraid nor do I have any regrets. I did what I had to do to win my trials and get every client declared guilty, for that is the role of a prosecutor, and that is my creed. But as I stand here, I cannot help but recall my career as a prosecutor. In fact, I can even recall my first case..."
And with that, Von Karma became lost in his memories…
A/N: Whew! I finished my first chapter for my first fanfic. I finally decided to start writing fanfics after I got some good fanfic ideas while talking to some friends on Capcom-Unity. I've had this idea for a while now, and I finally decided to post it here.
I've always wanted to see someone do a series detailing Manfred Von Karma's career, and since no else has done it, I figured I would be the first to try.
I apologize if I made Von Karma out of character, but this is my first attempt at a fanfic, so please excuse me this time.
And I apologize if the chapter sucked, but this is merely a prologue for the story, something I wrote just to set the mood. I promise the next chapter will be better.
Next chapter, we go back in time about 40 years ago to Von Karma's first trial. I hope you stick around to read it.
Read and Review, please!
